A northeastern Ohio developer has begun work on an adult assisted-living center at Smoky Row and
Snouffer roads on the Northwest Side.

The 90,000-square-foot building will offer 101 apartments in three levels of care — independent,
assisted and memory care, said Bill Lemmon, owner of Lemmon & Lemmon, a North Canton developer
and builder.

Once completed, the as-yet unnamed assisted-living center will be managed by a sister company,
Brookwood Management Co., which oversees about 1,500 rental units throughout the state.

The center will be similar to Parkside Village in Westerville, which Brookwood opened a year and
a half ago.

Working with local partners Robert Weiler and Donald Kelley, Lemmon & Lemmon bought the
7.2-acre parcel earlier this year from Congregation Beth Tikvah.

Lemmon said he expects that the center will open in December 2014 or January 2015.

He is interested in developing other assisted-living facilities in central Ohio to cater to the
growing demand.

“The demographics are just naturally providing the growth for these facilities,” Lemmon
said.
